She sharply rebuffed a 2005 Oscar-Winning film
Her book release was an answer to the film “Walk the Line (2005),” a musical/drama film chronicling Johnny Cash’s life. In the movie, Vivian was written as a difficult wife who tugged on her husband’s dreams as a country star.
The book is a memoir that clarified her side of the story. Its title was an apt reminder of Johnny Cash’s hit 1956 single. Aimed to ring a bell, the book also reminded people of the singer’s sweet promises to his first wife.
Luckily, the release of her book successfully cleared her name from her ex-spouse’s controversial film portrayal. Those people who were close to Vivian expressed their support of the woman they would describe as kind and generous.
